Reese Witherspoon answered critics of her AI posts on Instagram, saying she is not paid to promote the technology and is simply curious.
She called concerns about jobs and the environment valid, said computers should not replace people, and invited followers to learn about AI with her or not, as they preferred.
The backlash followed an April 16 post telling her 30.5 million followers that women were falling behind men on AI and risked losing jobs as a result, part of months of posts urging women into the field.
Some critics had linked her stance to Blackstone, an AI investor that backs Candle Media, owner of her Hello Sunshine.
